EasySMX X05 Wireless Controller for PC/Steam/Switch/iOS/Android, Black

Works great! I've bought a lot of "discount" controllers before, most of them are sitting in a box useless and either unable to connect or have major drawbacks, so I was pleasantly surprised by how well these worked. I picked up two of these and both worked and connected perfectly. I have an old xbox 360 and before I moved the switch on the back of the controller it was already connecting and booting up my 360 in the living room! I switched it to Bluetooth and connected my galaxy phone to the controller flawlessly, then I connected the second controller to our iPad so my son could play Minecraft on it. So far they're every bit as good as an original controller at half the price and 2-3 times as many devices to connect it to!

If you understand the benefits of hall effect joysticks and triggers, you'll know that some of the most expensive controllers on the market, some even in the $150+ range, don't even have them. Not acceptable for that price range. I'm tired of replacing old controllers, repairing them to get another short usage span out of them, or just outright having to trash them. I only buy hall effect now. Now I could say any hall effect controller is good, and having used nothing but them for the past couple years, I'd be mostly correct, but this controller feels solid and plays even better. I can't get over the $17 price tag either. The controller was instantly recognized by Windows. No extra setup. Just plug in the dongle and hit the center button on the controller and it will sync right up. The RGB is easy to play with. You just double tap the "M" button and use the left joystick to play with your options, one of which includes no lights at all. When you're decided, just tap "M" again and your set. It comes with two thumb grips and a USB C charging cable as well. All in all, it was a pretty seamless process. I was in game within seconds of powering it on. Triggers and all buttons are very responsive. D Pad is sufficient no matter what games you play, including fighting games(not the greatest, but will suffice. You should be using a fight stick anyway!). Joysticks feel great and again, the ease of mind knowing they'll last is what is most exciting here. EasySMX have done a good job here. I'll likely be picking up a second or even a third to keep in their boxes until my friends finally wear out my older, potentiometer joystick controllers ha!

Amazing controller, slightly lighter than an original Xbox One controller but otherwise the same or better in every way. Can't believe I've been spending $60+ on OEM controllers when amazing 3rd party options like this were an option. Connects to my PC and reads just like a normal Xbox controller. 10/10 would absolutely buy this controller again.

I appreciate the affordability of this controller. The quality is nice, and coming from an xbox controller, I appreciate that it doesn't take AA batteries and that it has built-in lights which impress people when you pull it out. I don't normally write reviews, but I'm writing one today because the left bumper stopped working after 3 months of light use. Basically, if I hold it down to test in Steam input, it'll show the left bumper barely flickering, like the button is dying out. I heard the warnings in the reviews about the right trigger, but I thought it was chance occurance. I'll still keep my review at 4 stars because I appreciate an xbox controller competitor.

Over the years, I've purchased a number of controllers and hands down, EasySMX controllers are the worst. I have 4 different models, this one being one of them. Every single one of them have broken, while my 8BitDo controllers have lasted for 3 years now without problems. With this one specifically, the left and right triggers stopped working after probably 50 hours of use. Also, it's a small point, but the thumbgrips are actually smaller than average size, so my extenders wouldn't even go on them and I had to use the little rubber soccer ball ones.

Amazing controllers. Work great, not so sure on the battery life, but they seem to last a decent amount of time (at least average) but I do often seem to pick them up as they need a charge too. That said, they DO allow you to play while charging, so that's huge. The buttons click nice, the joysticks are pretty functional. They also have a dongle and a switch you can toggle between Bluetooth, Nintendo Switch, and dongle mode. If I didn't know this was 3rd party, I would have said this is as good as the major manufacturers' controllers in some ways, but to show how impressed I am, I bought my first one of these on Temu and it was so good I bought one here on Amazon. They look and feel great. My only gripe is I can't really manage the backlights much, oh and I can't tell if this is user error or a glitch but it does seem like sometimes it adds on turbo function to direction/buttons randomly (but I haven't confirmed whether that is just me pulling it out and it turns on by itself and then puts it into turbo mode). Highly recommend if you have multiple platforms, though I have not tested on Playstation lineup (I own a PC and an Android phone, had an Xbox, Switch, and my ex had an iphone and iPad that I am pretty sure they worked on).

Why Did I Give 3 Stars: This controller is very good for the price point and I would actually recommend it. My interpretation of 3 stars is "I had thoughts in response to the product that made me unhappy" whereas 5 stars is I was never made unhappy. I gave 3 stars for 3 reasons: my controller refuses to auto-reconnect to my PC dongle after turning itself off after 5 minutes of inactivity without me manually putting the dongle and controller into pair mode, there is no way to get a battery charge indicator if you're playing/charging on PC because it goes into wired mode which they intentionally don't show battery for (presuming you're intending to play "wired" which makes sense but is flawed for this reason), and because the button to power off the controller requires me to open xbox home on my PC every time since it is also the "console/home" button (MINOR inconvenience yes, but still annoying and compounds the previous issues). Pros: - Form factor feels good. I intentionally bought it looking for an xbox feeling experience and got that. - Quality feels sturdy. Coming from expecting this price point to give me something like a Logitech F310 or MadCatz semi-transparent looking garbage, this doesn't feel like a piece of trash. - The frame doesn't creak or flex. - The ABXY buttons have acceptable wiggle tolerance. - The joysticks feel how I would expect (not too long of a neck, and smooth movement as you'd expect). - More subjectively, the bumpers are tactile with a click, but sound muffled which I like. - Also subjectively, the dpad has unique directional buttons rather than the new diagonal design xbox leans into. I MUCH prefer the unique directions over the xbox approach. People everyone online complain they're mushy. They are objectively mushier than the ABXY but I wouldn't have even noticed if everyone wasn't crying about it. It's perfectly fine imo. Cons: - The first functional con leading to a 3 star is my controller refuses to auto-reconnect to my PC dongle if the controller is turned off via 5 minutes of inactivity. If *I* turn it off, it works fine. But if it turns itself off, it refuses to reconnect without me manually putting controller and dongle into pair mode. Perhaps it's a unique edge case software wise with my configuration, but regardless it's annoying. - The second functional con leading to my 3 star is that there is no way to get a battery charge indicator if you are using the controller on PC and charging via the PC. When you play on PC wired, it shows no battery indicator "because you're wired" which intuitively makes sense. But the flaw in the logic is if I'm typically charging the controller on my PC to play wirelessly on my PC. The instruction manual suggests ways to see charge, but for my specific use case it seems impossible and this annoys me very much. - The third functional con leading to my 3 star is the power button is the "console/home" button. Every time I want to turn my controller off on my PC, it opens the xbox hub. Functionally, not too big of an issue in terms of impact or effort to fix, but it shouldn't be an issue at all imo. - This next point is aesthetic subjectivity. I chose the black and pink model. Aesthetically, the black looks pretty matte perhaps from the color itself, but the entire backplate *feels* like plastic. More reflective than I'd like. - This is less of a complaint because it could have not been a feature at all, and more of a "constructive criticism to consider moving forward on innovations." The configuration steps for lights and modes are pretty random feeling. If I lose my manual, I hope their website offers a digital replacement or I am in trouble. Also, if you're going to allow stick left and right to change tolerances for other things, why lock the joystick deadzones to "0 or default"? Why not allow a configurable range? Yeah it would probably be confusing to configure, but so is everything else. - Most reviews suggest you should get teflon tape strips for your joysticks. I never would have used them so this is DEFINITELY a petty thing to note, but for what it's worth I did not receive them if you care about that.

This controller works well in my Tesla using the supplied USB dongle in the glove box. I have 2 of these controllers that I can use at the same time by using a USB expansion hub. This also pairs natively with my gen 1 Nintendo switch. I love everything about this controller.

Bad quality. Broke in less than 50 days

Simply an excellent and fantastic controller for a very fair price. Very comfortable and joystick tips have a noticable concavity to them just like Xbox controllers too. The hall joysticks are super precise, very nice to have at this price. Bluetooth connects to my tablet, usb to my PC, and I'm able to swap in seconds if I want to. Part of the left trigger mechanism stopped working, and support was able to give me a replacement for free within a week, massively appreciated. I only wish I didn't get white because it stains so easily. And it's type c rechargable? I recommend this easily

Es muy bueno, no sé tanto de controles pero si es mucho mejor que los del nintendo switch, se siente más estable y además a mi hijo le encantaron las luces.

Llevo unos días probando este mando, y la verdad es que me ha sorprendido gratamente. Desde el primer momento, se siente sólido y bien construido, con una ergonomía que permite jugar durante horas sin molestias. La conexión es estable, sin retrasos perceptibles, y la compatibilidad con múltiples dispositivos es un gran plus. Uno de los aspectos que más me ha gustado es la respuesta de los gatillos y los joysticks, que ofrecen un buen nivel de precisión. Además, la batería tiene una duración excelente, lo que permite largas sesiones de juego sin interrupciones. Sin embargo, hay un par de detalles mejorables. Aunque el mando es muy cómodo, los botones podrían tener un mejor tacto, ya que algunos se sienten un poco duros. ✅ Pros: Excelente ergonomía y comodidad Conexión estable y sin lag Compatible con varios dispositivos Buena duración de batería SERVICIO TÉCNICO. Ayuda en todo lo que necesites para que tu experiencia con el mando sea la mejor posible. ❌ Contras: Ninguno, ya que cuenta con un servicio técnico increíble que te ayuda en todo lo que te suceda y te guía hasta el final. En general, es un mando inalámbrico muy recomendable para quienes buscan una opción fiable y cómoda sin gastar demasiado. Además tienes toda una empresa detrás para lo que necesites. RECOMENDADO.

Great controller, we bought 3 of them a year ago for my kids. They didn't work properly for a moment but apparently we had to turn off the Turbo function (M-button for 5 sec) Sowith the use of one year, proves they are great quality!
